The moment was especially meaningful given the siblings’ recent ups and downs. Earlier this year, Ray J opened up on the “Drop The Lo” podcast about feeling like he’s been an “embarrassment” to his family. “I love my sister, but I’m an embarrassment to them,” he admitted, reflecting on how fame, pressure, and personal challenges have affected his relationships. Despite the friction, he said he believes he and Brandy will “be okay” and noted that their disagreements often come down to how they handle family matters differently.

He also mentioned that while he and Brandy’s conversations have been brief lately, his children maintain a strong bond with their famous aunt. “My son Epik loves his auntie,” he shared, saying the two often connect over FaceTime.

Their relationship appeared to strain further when Ray J made headlines for an awkward exchange with streamer Kai Cenat that Brandy reportedly found concerning. After the video went viral, Brandy texted her brother asking what was going on and reminded him that he’s “better than this.” In response, Ray J shared their messages publicly, writing that he’s “being himself” but struggling with depression and instability after the end of his marriage.

For many, seeing Brandy and Ray J—two artists who’ve grown up in the public eye—embrace on stage was a reminder that family bonds, though tested, can always find their way back to love.
